The time is coming and I have to go
You understand me more than I can know
But through it all I never look away
I'll never trust someone like you anyway
I am here to fight for what is right
Though I don't quite know what that is
The darkness bites and gives a fright
In searing white, I plan to give
Burning pain inside
A pain I cannot hide
Creatures of the night
Swarm around the light
Heavens will divide
And I see a hand reach for me
Victims terrorized
For your wounded pride
When all else has died
I see her hand is reaching down
Severed spines and shattered souls
Murders displayed where no one goes
I take the blame, I will confess
I am the slayer of the blessed
I won't deny, and I won't cry
I will just sigh and give you pause
Hold my blade high, the edge will glide
In death you find my lonely cause
I don't want to kill
Even so, I will
Creatures of the night
Swarm around the light
Heavens will divide
And I see a hand reach for me
Victims terrorized
For your wounded pride
When all else has died
I see her hand is reaching down
Save your tears for someone else
I'm going now, so wish me well
No more shall ever hear my bell
Somehow I'm not going to hell
The string of fate will tie
Around me where I lie
And my soul will fly
As she reaches her hand down to me
Creatures of the night
Swarm around the light
Heavens will divide
And I see a hand reach for me
Victims terrorized
For your wounded pride
When all else has died
I see her hand is reaching down
